ABSTRACT:
A base cabinet system is provided for a laptop computer, on which the laptop can be placed for expanded home-based use. A reinforced removable cover arches over the top of the base cabinet so that the laptop can be slid into position on top of the base cabinet and beneath the cover, and the monitor rested on the top of the cover; when one wishes to use the laptop display, the monitor and cover are easily removed to permit tilt-up of the laptop display. Special retaining devices are provided to assure that the cover seats itself and remains in its proper installed position, and special guides are provided to assure that when the laptop is slid into position the connector on its rear side will mate properly with the corresponding connector on the base cabinet. A leveraged actuator system is provided so that an operator, by exerting a modest force on a manual actuator at the front of the system, can apply a multiplied force between base cabinet and laptop computer to disengage the laptop connector from the base cabinet connector.
